DRIVE takes a look at the new BMW M5 and M6. The //DRIVE team along with Nelson Ireson from Motor Authority and Matt Russell from BMW of North America examine the new body-control technologies that manage its weight, and help them perform like smaller, lighter cars.

The M5 and M6 models are all powered by the most powerful engine ever fitted in a series-produced model from BMW M GmbH – a high revving 560 hp M TwinPower Turbo V-8 mated to a high torque 7-speed M-Double Clutch transmission (M-DCT). It is all connected to an innovative Active M Differential which optimizes power transfer between the rear wheels ensuring the engine’s performance is transferred to the ground. The new engine produces around 10% higher output than the V10 engine of its predecessors and torque is up by over 30%. At the same time, real world fuel consumption and CO2 are expected to be reduced by approximately 30%.

Let’s have a look at the informative video and here is our review of the 2013 BMW M6 Coupe.
